I have segate ST12550 disk drive. When I used pfdisk in DOS to set up
the partitions for DOS and BSD, Dos reported the disk as having 1023
cylynders 81 head 56 sec. At this point thats all I new about the drive so
it didn't bother me.
I installed BSD with no problems. But when it boots it says I have
2708 cyls ?? head ?? sec. Everything works fine.
The next thing I did was edit the disklabel to include the DOS
partition so that I could mount the DOS partition from BSD. I noticed the
disklabel says 1023 cyl ???? . The edit worked without a hitch. I rebooted
and mounted the DOS partition.
The mount seemed to work fine, so I did an ls on the DOS mounted
partition and the system rebooted.
I might add that this all worked fine with my IDE / SCSI drives that
have less than 1024 cyl.
If anybody has any suggestions on what I can do to get the DOS partition
mounted or to redo my partiontable so that it matches the boot probe config I
would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
